Coca-Cola Testing New Flavor (Coffee Flavored Coke)
<snip>

NEW YORK -- How about some coffee-flavored cola in the morning?

That's just one of several new flavors that Coca-Cola is testing.

The head of Coke's North American operations, Don Knauss, also says the company plans to try out a new citrus-flavored soda called Vault. The hope is it will win over people who now drink Pepsi's Mountain Dew.

Vault is Coke's biggest effort at winning over those consumers since its ill-fated launch nine years ago of a green-colored soda called Surge. It fell flat.

The coffee-flavored cola, called Blak, is being tested in Spain and could enter the U.S. market.

Knauss told a conference om beverages that Coke is exploring the idea of fortifying soft drinks with vitamins and other health benefits.

1. A few points
I'd try coffee flavored Coke.

I will NEVER stop drinking Mt. Dew.

Surge came out 9 years ago?????? I feel old.

Screw making soda healthy. I like it bad for me.

5. "being tested in Spain "
:rofl:

Has a single of Coca Cola's European drinks made it to the US market so far? (some are very good, mind you)
